Arc text without distortion?

I'm trying to remake the text in the attached photo. I've managed to curve the top row of words by making them follow a path and it looks somewhat decent, but I'm not sure how to curve the word 'Starbucks' so it's like a lower arc without it being distorted.
So anyone could tell me how to curve the top and bottom row like the text in this photo, without the words being stretched weirdly or distorted, that would be a massive help!

Just have the bottom follow a different path.

How to best arc image without distortion to fit curved cup template?

I have tried searching forum for this and I know it has been discussed before but not really finding what I need to do correctly. I have attached the layered image (reducing opacity so you can both template and image). The vendor provided me a flat template, not a path, to do my artwork. As you can see I need to arc the image without distorting to fit a cup template. I am more comfortable in photoshop but I can export to AI if necessary to complete which appears what I need to do via envelope distort from what I keep seeing. However, the template provided is not a path. I tried to trace template shape manually with pen tool and use envelope distort to arc my image to conform but it looked very distorted and no even close to what I was trying to achieve. I tried to do tradition arc warp in photoshop but it still seems to distort proportions. Steps on how best to do this would be much appreciated! I know there must be a easier/more efficient way to achieve this.

I would not trace the template and will simply use it as a visual reference for deforming (conforming) the image to it. You can make the template image transparent to certain degree using the Transparency panel so you can see through it then move its layer on top of all other layers and lock it. Scale and position your image in such way that at least two of its corners fit two corners of the template for example the two top corners and then its bottom edge is on the same level as the template.Then select the image to be deformed and in the control panel at the top of your screen click the Embed button which allows you to deform the image (edit: just noticed you wrote it is already embedded, so skip this).
Choose Object > Envelope Distort > Make it with a Mesh. and chose 1 for rows and columns. Make sure the Smart Guides are on (View > Smart Guides). With the Selection tool (white arrow) Shift click or drag a selection box to select the two points of one of the vertical sides of your image. Pick the Sheer Tool and first just click on the selected top corner point to set the reference point of the sheer then click and drag the corresponding bottom point to match it to the corresponding point of your template. You may hold Shift while dragging to constrain although the Smart Guides will do that by snapping to edge of the envelope if your mouse is close to it. Repeat this for the other side of image. To make the image curved, pick the Selection tool (white arrow) click a corner point which will display its handles, pick a handle that is on a horizontal side of the image and pull it up to deform the shape referring to the template. You may do this first roughly with all horizontal handles and then you can drag guides from the ruler when a handle is selected to snap a guide to it and use it to put the corresponding handle on the opposite side on the same level.
Once you have deformed the image to conform to the template, you can fine tune the distribution of the vertical deformation with the vertical handles of the corner points. You can grab a handle and drag it along the vertical paths of the envelope (the Smart guides will snap to it). Drag the vertical handles on one each side lower until you like the distribution of the deformation.
Try to follow my instructions and I'll clarify if you are stuck.

Grenerating Outlines creating ARCed text

OUTLINE
I have some text that has a graphical outline around it. This
text needs to be Dynamic for localization. However, I still need to
have the outline appear around the text. I was hoping that this was
something that would be built in to Flash CS3. It's not. Is there a
way to do this in AS?
1. Load text
2. Show visible text w/Outlines
ARCed Text
Is there a way to dynamically arc the text without breaking
it down into small movieclips or text fields?
j

It's in the Type menu...
BUT, outlining type for anything other than creating some sort of special effect is considered poor practice for a variety of reasons, including loss of editability, searchability, and loss of embellishments like automatic bullets and numbers, underlines, and paragraph rules that only work with actual text. If you feel you must outline text, and you are using CS2, see InDesignSecrets » Blog Archive » Converting Text to Outlines The Right Way

I am in need of ai script for arcing text

i am in need of ai script for arcing text

A little vague aren't we… Is this the kind of arcing you mean? Text along a curve or do you mean distorting into an arch like some plug-in can?
#target illustrator
var doc = app.activeDocument;
doc.defaultFilled = false, doc.defaultStroked = true;
var textPath = doc.pathItems.ellipse( 0, 0, doc.width, doc.height );
textPath.pathPoints[3].selected = PathPointSelection.ANCHORPOINT;
app.cut();
doc.selection = null;
app.redraw();
var tp = doc.textFrames.pathText( doc.pathItems[0], 0, 0, TextOrientation.HORIZONTAL );
tp.textRange.paragraphAttributes.justification = Justification.CENTER;
tp.textRange.characterAttributes.size = 60;
tp.contents = 'I am in need of ai script…';
var tpd = tp.duplicate();
tpd.translate( 0, -150 );

Why isn't my iTunes store loading properly? It lists everything in text without images, and I can't seem to access the store when I try to search for music or movies etc.

1) The best way to relocate the iTunes library folder is to move the entire iTunes folder with all subfolders to the new path, then press and hold down shift as start iTunes and keep holding until prompted to choose a library, then browse to the relocated folder and open the file iTunes Library.itl inside it.
If you've done something different then provide some more details about what is where and I should be able to help.
2) Purchases on the device should automatically transfer to a Purchased on <DeviceName> playlist, but it my depend a bit on whether automatic iCloud downloads are enabled. If there is a cloudy link then the transfer might not happen. You can use File > Devices > Transfer Purchases. In iTunes you should also check out iTunes Store > Quick Links > Purchased > Music > Not on this computer.
3) Backup the device, then immediately restore it. In some cases you need to add a restore as new device into that equation. Obbviously not to be attempted until you're sure all your media is in your library. See Recover your iTunes library from your iPod or iOS device should it be needed.
4) I believe there is complimentary 1 incident 90-day support with hardware purchases, but no free software support for iTunes itself. AppleCare gets you a different level of support.

How can I get an Extension's toolbar icon to display image without text (without universally affecting other icons)? How can I edit the icons text (save space)?

"From the Show dropdown menu, you can choose what to display in the toolbars: icons, text, or icons and text together. By default, Firefox shows icons only." Is there a way to choose an individual setting for a specific toolbar icon to be icon only (no text) without universally affecting all other icons on the toolbars?
Second, is there a way to edit the text on a specific toolbar button from an extension (because it occupies too much horizontal space on the toolbar due to the amount of text)? I do know how to locate the xpi file & open it with notepad, but then it's mainly code (not English) & FIND doesn't locate the button's text (to edit it).
These 2 questions should apply to Extension buttons in general. However IF it makes any difference I'm referring to the Toolbar Button in Back To Top 7.0 which says "Go to top/bottom". I'd at least like to edit out "Go to", but my questions apply to other Extension buttons too. I do realize it may be necessary to redo any fix/change each time there is an update? THANK YOU.

We use the DOM Inspector to find the IDs and Class Names of elements.

The DOM Inspector (DOMi) has a menu item (Edit > Select Element By Click) and a toolbar button "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" (left icon on the toolbar in the DOMi).
* open the browser window in the DOMi (File > Inspect <b>Chrome</b> Document) and choose the first from the list.
* click the "Find a node to inspect by clicking on it" button and use the keyboard (Alt Tab) or the Task bar to go back to the browser window (do not click in the browser window other than the title bar).
* click that element with the mouse and keep the button pressed until you see a red border to indicate the the DOMi has located that element in the DOM tree.

Can't drag clip in expert without distortion of interface

can't drag clip in expert without distortion of interface
What's wrong?

ARBY-77
In what way are you distorting the interface in this task?
Are you referring to media already placed on the Timeline being disturbed when you drag a file to the Timeline from Project Assets? Or, maybe audio file already on the Timeline breaking up when you drag a file from Project Assets to the Timeline?
If so, please hold down the Alt key of the computer main keyboard as you drag the file in place on the Timeline.
If other than the above, please supply additional information for us to help you.
Thanks.

Scale a Paint's "path" without distorting the Brush "strokes"?

Anyway to scale a Paint Brush "stroke's" "path" along only one axis without distorting the brush strokes?

Besides having no idea what you're trying to say, I don't think you're considering the problem.
Here's the same issue, solved with regards lines and their strokes distorting:
scale a line, not it's outline/stroke...
That's a particularly cool trick.
But I don't see anything similarly possible with Paint Brush based "strokes".
Please, consider that this is what I'm "painting" the line with, so I'd like the circles (dots) to not distort into ovals when scaling the path in only one dimension, see my answer at bottom:
Small Circles (dots) on a path instead of dashes?

Rotating text without embedding fonts - how?

No doubt same or similar question was asked and most likely answered but I could not
find anything that would match...
I want to draw column headers of my ADG vertically. So, I need rotate column text 90 degree
and adjust position.
Is it true that it can be achieved with embedded font only? If it is true how can it be done for
Unicode code, which includes ranges for Japanese, Chinese, etc characters. The size of
swf is going to be huge. Several sites like this
http://www.forestandthetrees.com/2009/06/29/rotating-text-without-embedding-fonts/
claims that they have a solution for the problem without embedding fonts.
Note: I am still using Flex 3.3 SDK with no TLF. By the way, do TLF libraries work with
3.3 SDK.?
Thanks in advance

Draw your text onto a bitmap image (or take an ImageSnapshot of a Label), then rotate the image.

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?

How can I move columns in Numbers without distorting the formula in other cells? In Excel I can cut and paste entire columns and the formula in other cells adjusts accordingly. When I do it in Numbers, the formula messes up. How can I do this?
For example: I have formulas in columns D and F that relate to columns C to CU
If I want to move one column from one position to another (say S to T), the formula loses the colums that was moved, i.e. it doesn't recognize it has moved, rather sees it as deleted... How can I do this without distorting the formula?

Thanks for the feedback.
If I often urge askers to look at the available resources, it's because a large range of questions asked in the forums are already answered in these documents.
As they are PDFs, they are easy to search in.
CAUTION
Download them while they are available.
Given what is delivered with iBooks Author, I'm afraid that we will not get such easy to use documents.
Searching infos in the iBooks Author documentation available on line is awfully cumbersome and a lot of embedded links are wrongly flagged this way. In the Help files they aren't links but underlined strings.
It seems that the tool used to generate the web pages was wrongly configured.

Why is it, after all the years with this service, my wife can't get service, send a text without a long delay from the high school she works at 4 miles away??? The phone works great in the middle of corn fields but in the dead center of town, at the high

I have been with Verizon since they started in Peoria, IL and yet to this day I don't understand why when my wife goes to work at a high school, dead in the middle of town, she has no service, can't send a text without a huge delay and can't receive phone calls? I can be out of Peoria in the middle of a corn field and I get calls without a problem, yet but within the city no service at Peoria High School or very limited. This causes the phone to drop from LTE and then eats the battery.

Service isn't guaranteed inside of buildings especially buildings filled with steel, concrete and electrical wiring. High School buildings definitely have all three.

Hi All,
New to XML, just learning stage only.
Already I asked and got the coding through forum. It alert text frame ID only.

Text without a font

how can i write text without a font?

bison, you cannot type without a font but as the others suggested you can write or draw what you want with any of the tools that can create shapes of the font in your mind.
Another approach to save time is to select a font that is similar to the font in your mind and then modify it.
It is also possible to create your own font with a font creation program, so you can type with it.
